Sands sat
on his bed, shutting his cell phone. He
was too quiet for Grace’s liking. She
sat next to him, placing a hand on his back.
“Jeffrey? Message from Homer not so good?” She tried to make light of things, but Sands
didn’t crack even the smallest of smiles.
“Do you
know how to shoot a gun?” he asked.
“Huh?”
His voice
was emotionless. “Have you ever fired a
gun before?”
“Yeah.”
Sands
turned and smiled at her. “Really?”
“I get the
feeling that excites you,” she said, still wondering what news he had been
given.
Letting the
tension he was feeling pass for a moment, his hand found her thigh and he said,
“Well, if you can handle that kind of piece as well as you handle mine…”
Grace
slapped his hand away, trying not to smile.
“Even when something’s wrong, you’re a horny…”
He leaned
over, his lips grazing her neck. “As
long as I’m horny, you know there’s hope for the situation.”
“And the
situation we’re in right now would be?”
“You are not
to leave this room without a gun – or without me, got it?”
Sands orders
weren’t exciting her this time around – they were scaring her. “I’m really not comfortable with…”
“Gracie,
I’m not giving you a choice here. When
have you used a gun?”
“Tell me what’s going on, Jeffrey.”
He sighed,
his hand stroking her hair. “Mikey the
psycho wasn’t kidding when he said that I should have heard of him. Gracie, he’s into some serious shit. Drug running mostly, but he’s had hits put
out on more people than…”
“What?” Grace was immediately frantic. “No way.
Michael might be a thief and a tad obsessive, but a killer? I would have known, right? I would have known!”
“Gracie, calm
down.”
“I shared
my life with a killer?”
Sands bowed
his head slightly. “Technically, you
still are.”
“Well…you
only kill the ‘bad guys’, right?” Her
voice seemed distant.
Sands
smiled. “Something like that.” Do cooks count? I mean, God only knows if they wash their hands before they start
pawing people’s food…and there is the balance to consider. O.K., that’s a habit that I’m broken of
anyway, since I’d never be able to find a kitchen in a place I haven’t been
before…
“Jeffrey?”
Realizing
his silence, he said, “You’ve reformed me, Gracie. Only the ‘bad guys’, I promise.”
“I shared
my bed with…” Grace couldn’t get passed
what Sands had told her.
“I’m sure
he did a good job of keeping things from you.
I’m also sure that he had people do most, if not all, the kills for
him. He didn’t sound like the type
who…”
“That
doesn’t make it any better.”
“Well,
maybe this will make up for it a little: he didn’t really start to come onto the
radar until a few months ago – you already got rid of him by then.”
Grace
sighed. “Well, that makes me feel
slightly less stupid I guess.”
